Does chametz mixed in between the sixth hour of Erev Pesach and nightfall prohibit the mixture in any amount (mashehu)?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules that chametz mixed in from the sixth hour until nightfall does not prohibit at mashehu, but is treated like other prohibitions (nullified at 1:60). The Rema adds that noten ta'am li-fgam also permits it. The Mishnah Berurah explains that since there is no karet during this period, the Sages did not apply the mashehu stringency.
